The function that models exponential growth is:
P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where
P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P
r is the growth rate as a decimal
In our case we have:
P(0) = 2800
r = 0.035 or 3.5%
P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t
P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t
The same exponential function written using y and t is:
y = 2800*1.035^t.

<h3>
Answer: 426 square feet</h3>
Work Shown:
A = area of the rectangle
A = length*width
A = 26*15
A = 390 square feet
B = area of the triangle
B = base*height/2
B = 8*9/2
B = 72/2
B = 36 square feet
C = total area
C = A+B
C = 390+36
C = 426 square feet
2,300,000 + 510,000 = 2,810,000 them move a decimal to where is greater then 1
2.81 x 10^6 but wait, there isnt an answer for this so it has to be 28.1 x 10^5 witch is B
